Three men were rushed to hospital on Saturday morning after a triple stabbing at a club in Birmingham.

Police and paramedics scrambled to Medleys club, in Northfield, in the early hours of the morning after three men were attacked.

The victims, thought to be in their 20s, were rushed to hospital at around 2.20am for stab injuries, none of which are thought to be life-threatening.

A crime scene remained in place in Bristol Road South throughout Saturday.

Speaking about the Medleys club stabbings, Jenny Birch from West Midlands Police said: “We are working hard to establish the circumstances of what took place during the early hours of this morning.

"I need anyone who has any information about what happened to get in touch with us as soon as possible.

“This is a shocking incident where weapons were sadly used again causing injuries to three people, we need to determine what happened and who is responsible.

“Officers are addressing the rising surge in violence and knife crime. We continue our extra patrols and are still utilising our extensive powers to search people without the need to suspect they are carrying weapons.

“We are committed to tackling the rise in violence in the city and will robustly deal with those intent on causing harm within our communities."

No arrests have been made and an investigation continues.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
